With ParaView 4.2-RC, you can use the Python trace to generate the
script to use for exporting. It looks something like so:
ExportView('/tmp/sample.pdf', view=renderView1, Plottitle='MyPlot',
Compressoutputfile=1,
Linewidthscalingfactor=1.0,
Pointsizescalingfactor=1.0)
For 4.1, look at the implementation of "ExportView" in [1]. You can
use a similar code for the same effect.
